French Connection Share Discussion Threads

Hi phil, all. I was going to start a new thread, with some decent charts etc in the header.

Anyone any thoughts on a title and tag line?

CR's is excellent, and it would be good to continue the theme, so how about FRENCH CONNECTION III?

Even at 1 way undervalued compared to rest of sector, Booho cap 600m, someone mentioned Fatface looking at over 400m plus when floated. FC has a lot of catching up to do, so long as they continue with the turnaround.

Since January this has just gone through the roof,do you expect somesort of re-traction to 75p or will it break through the 1.00 barrier short term.....

Just seen an FC ad on TV. Very funky. Is this a new campaign? Popped up between "Made in Chelsea" (not my choice)

[philanderer] 05/5/2014 20:05

I think the French Connection brand has now become 'cool' ;-)

Went into the Canterbury store, and loads of shoppers. Even my 17 year old daughter is now looking at their fashions online.

many thanks guys, I'm still in but wondered why the mad rise.

Not so mad after all then.

Philanderer,
I don't think a bid would succeed without the agreement of Stephen Marks who has an effective controlling stake of 41.8% Because the company is clearly on a roll he would only sell at a very high price.There are however many hedge funds around which would in present markets be prepared to pay such a price.

[philanderer] 02/5/2014 16:17

thorne, agree with that , the only fly in the ointment is if someone comes in with a bid short term . I`d rather wait for the potential here to unwind. FCCN`s image is definitely on the up.

Sven 2006
One of the principal reasons for the present upwards movement apart from recovery criteria is the high valuations being accorded to retail IPOS.For example Fat Face is apparently to come to the market with a valuation of £440m. compared with fccn's present valuation of circa £83m.FCCN is presently achieving greater t/o than Fat Face and profitability is no more than 12 months behind e.o.e.In my opinion FCCN is clearly set for no less than £2 per share over the next 18 months.

[sven2006] 02/5/2014 14:39

why is this moving so fast guys ?

[philanderer] 02/5/2014 13:54

Having to pay 86p+ to buy at the moment... and that could look cheap in 12 months time.
